Her latest project, A New Reality, released May 17, 2024 (Integrity Music). Sparked at a young age with a love for music, she met Jesus in an intimate encounter at a youth conference when “Worship became my language with God...it opened my heart.” She began an exciting journey of leading worship around the world with a passion for creating a safe and prayerful space through her music, and at every moment, her focus has always been an authentic portrayal of her relationship with God. Every song featured on her newest release “A New Reality” is deeply personal and introspective, basking in awe at God’s mystery and wonder while also wrestling with big questions. “I’ve always felt His presence close, but suddenly there was only silence,” she says. “I found myself in a new reality I never anticipated.” It is Sarah’s hope that throughout the album, the listener will hear the faith along with the wrestling, and be encouraged to bring their imperfect, questioning, doubting selves to God. A New Reality is Sarah Kroger at her most vulnerable while also standing firm in her belief, and the result is a lush, prayerful, and ultimately uplifting collection of songs for anyone who’s ever felt less than perfect. <strong><a href="http://SarahKroger.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn More ></a></strong> <em>Gates open at 5:30pm, Show starts at 6:30pm.</em>
